LA PAZ (Reuters) - Former Bolivian President Evo Morales on Wednesday said he would be exonerated if new investigations were opened based on an independent report that found that "massacres" took place during the end of his presidency and the beginning of his successor's.

"They are not going to find anything, just waste their time," Morales said in a press conference from the Bolivian city of Cochabamba that was broadcast on Facebook.
